45-Minute TMJ-focused Massage
Description
TMJ-focused massage is a specialized treatment that targets the muscles of the jaw, face, head, neck, and upper shoulders that influence the function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Using gentle, precise massage techniques, this treatment helps reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and address areas that may contribute to jaw pain or discomfort. Depending on your comfort level and treatment goals, the session may include both external techniques and intraoral (inside the mouth) massage performed with your informed consent and appropriate clinical precautions. When combined with Registered Massage Therapy, TMJ-focused massage can help relieve jaw tension, reduce headaches related to muscle tightness, ease neck and shoulder discomfort, improve jaw mobility, and promote relaxation throughout the upper body. It may also benefit those who clench or grind their teeth, experience stress-related jaw tension, or notice discomfort while chewing or speaking. Whether you're seeking relief from persistent jaw tightness or looking to complement your massage treatment with a focused approach, TMJ-focused massage can help restore comfort and support healthy jaw function.
